Milky Way despite lights

José J. Chambó from Valencia, Spain

The brightest part of the Milky Way, with the constellations Scorpius and Sagittarius at bottom right, rises over the southern horizon from the Hoya Redonda homestead in Valencia, Spain. Toward the southeast, the orange brightness of the sky glow comes from the light pollution of the Ontinyent city zone. (Canon EOS 350D, Canon 18-135mm lens set at 18mm and f/3.5, ISO 1600)
